Administrators Jon 1,248 Posted March 23, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2004 The AutoIt Window Spy shows this information along with the title.

Guest rathore Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 i'm sorry i should've been more clear. i want to do this in a script. like every explorer window has a different title (depending on the folder open) but has the same classname. i wanted to check if the active window is an explorer window ( classnames CabinetWClass or ExploreWClass) thanx!

Administrators Jon 1,248 Posted March 23, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2004 There probably should be a WinGetClass function but you can work around it by doing something like: If WinActive("classname=CabinetWClass") Then ... specified class is active ...

Guest rathore Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 uh Jon, does that really work? this is what i tried: sleep (2000) If WinActive("classname=CabinetWClass") Then TrayTip ( "yes", "it works!",1) sleep (1000) Else EndIf in the initial delay i'd manually activate a folder window... but nothing happened! is it something that i'm doing wrong?

Administrators Jon 1,248 Posted March 23, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2004 I figured that as you were already talking about classnames that you know you must put AutoIt into the mode that understands those? Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) Deployment Blog: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/blog/ SCCM SDK Programming: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/sccm-sdk/ Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rathore Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) GOD! u r really a FastShooter Jon!
